During the round-robin round, the curlers defeated Norway, Finland, China and South Korea, but lost to the USA, Canada and Switzerland. After leaving the group from the third place, the athletes met with Switzerland: the Russians led, but in many respects because of the unsuccessful last throw gave way (5: 7).
